I’ve had one noteworthy annoyance with the top bar for quite a while: whenever I’m finished reading a feed, the X button to close it is in the top right corner just underneath the user menu (account/help/become vip/sign out), and if I accidentally move the mouse too far up, the user menu opens up and covers the X so that I can’t close the feed.

It’s only a small issue but it’s been there forever and there should be really simple to fix: either make the feed view cover up the top bar, or make the top bar require a click to make the menu appear. I love everything else about your service, but this is a frequent frustration.
